Rebecca White's eyes, wide and filled with innocence, suddenly brimmed with tears that silently rolled down her cheeks. "How could James possibly be my child? I've never had a child... Never."

"My head is killing me!"

She winced, shaking her head in pain as her complexion turned even paler. "Why does it hurt so much?"

"I'll be right up."

"Okay, I'll wait."
